Bella Yaletown: "It's Going to Be a Huge Splash"

Permits are finally through for Bella Gelateria's much-anticipated new Bella Yaletown restaurant, which should be opening in June, according to owner-Gelato Master James Coleridge. The new 3,100 sq. foot space in the old Bojangles restaurant on Marinaside on the promenade, will have 80 seats and be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner with pizza Napoletano, gelato (of course), chocolate fountains and martinis - with gelato.
James emailed Eater to tell us:

There is NO renovation it is a complete make-over, nothing, not a thing left from the old business. Only concrete floors and no wires, plumbing, nothing; it's going to be a multi-million dollar make-over. Elegant, contemporary design—all Italian—and everything world-class about our gelato is being carried over to our pizza, drinks, desserts and breakfast. It's going to be a huge splash for us.
